Movie Moments: #75

The 13th Warrior (1999)

Comment:

Those who like their action mixed with a little classical literature will like this movie, an adaptation of the Old English epic poem Beowulf.Even Antonio Banderas is likeable and turns in a good performance.Something to watch on a rainy Sunday afternoon.I like it.

Synopsis:

It is 922AD.An outcast Arabic poet/fighter joins a band of Vikings who make a stand against ferocious, apparently supernatural beings.

Quote:

Ahmed Ibn Fahdian: Merciful Father, I have squandered my days with plans of many things. This was not among them. But at this moment, I beg only to live the next few minutes well. For all we ought to have thought, and have not thought; all we ought to have said, and have not said; all we ought to have done, and have not done; I pray thee God for forgiveness.
